GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.  The Grand Rapids Griffins of the American Hockey League on Friday recalled goaltender Drew MacIntyre from the ECHLs Toledo Storm. He assumes the lineup spot of Jimmy Howard, who was granted a leave of absence on Tuesday following the death of his grandmother.

MacIntyre, 22, began the season with the Griffins, posting an 8-3-0 record with a team-best 2.53 goals against average and 0.908 save percentage in 12 appearances. He has played 36 games for the Griffins over the last two seasons, showing a 15-11-0 record with one shutout, a 2.63 GAA and a 0.904 save percentage.

Since being assigned to Toledo on Jan. 2, MacIntyre has compiled a sparkling 7-1-2 record with one shutout, a 2.52 GAA and a 0.916 save percentage in 10 games for the Storm.

MacIntyre will be available for duty tonight when the Griffins host the defending Calder Cup champion Philadelphia Phantoms in a 7 p.m. start at Van Andel Arena.
